Assange is a coward hiding behind a principle that only applies when it is useful to him. He is not a hero, or a champion of freedom, he is an opportunist who seeks to elevate himself at the expense of individuals and nations.
I doubt that he could be convicted of much in the US, he did not steal anything, just published it.
He is afraid of being revealed as a rapist. Period.
A rapist? Because he didn't use a condom? One of his "victims" bought him breakfast the next morning, the other took him to a party.
There is nothing "opportunist" about publishing THE TRUTH!
Go back to your trailer park and brush your tooth. Then, find some government boots to lick.
what has he gained by what he has done. "dirty little secrets" exposed by him were something we all could have realized were done whether he exposed them or not. if he is innocent in sweden let him go and get a fair trial and prove it. garnering attention has always been my belief for his "wikileeks"
Aw! A guy who has killed and gotten thousands thrown into jail by his coy publication of stolen records, wants to protect his privacy and not tell his secrets in public court.
He should feel very lucky that he does not face the ultimate punishment for espionage that normally occurs in front of a bullet marred wall and involves a blindfold.
He should be considered a hero. He and his group have brought forth some truth about the illegal war crime by the United States of America under President George W. Bush. It is Bush and Cheney who should be brought to trial for the murder of tens of thousands of innocent people of Iraq.
These people put themselves in that position another case of shoot the messenger an aloow the corrupt of the world to continue their lies and oppression. Truth is that the US military wants Assange for releasing footage of Americans killing journalists and children.
The espionage act only applies to American citizens or people guilty for espionage on American soil. Now, let's start with the traitors within our reach and what about somebody who, unlike Assange, was likely responsible for what you mention by outing for political gain a CIA front (Brewster-Jennings) in charge of WMD proliferation ?
Where did you get this bullsh## from ? Fox? Who got killed? Who's in jail? The one in jail is a kid of the lowest rank that the army choose to trust with it's top secret files. They haven't killed enough kids in Iraq and Afganistan to satisfy you creeps yet? Go take in a movie!
England should stop being the little puppy dog of the US and backoff. Assange is a patriot to citizens of the world and his work has no boundries. If you don't like what he reports on then don't do illegal things to beging with.
Excellent comment. Assange has let us what really goes on with the US government who think they rule the world. Well they go to another countries on grounds of human rights defence...Rubbish, garbbage, the US wiped out generations and generations of native indian American, where were their human rights, the war in Iraq under International was illegal and Blair, Bush and Aznar should be prosecuted for crime against humanity, there were no mass distruction weapons. How about all the soldiers that died for this... where are the trials for their human rights. USA the country that had apartheid and killed Martin Luther King again another Human Right defender, JFK defend the black people and we got rid of them both not convenient to be a human right defender in the US of A.
The country that states that they go around the world to fight for FREEDOM, what freedom has the American people, it is the Nation in the world that has got more legislation than any other to prevent people of doing this...Where is the freedom.
Congress member have immunity on inside trading, they make Law and have constant access to non public information and they arrive in congress earning USD140,000.00 and they leave multi millionaire with all the inside trading they do. Where is the freedom for all the American citizen to do the same, if a Congress member is allowed to do it what about the American people? where is the Freedom in your hamburger?
Bradley Manning is being held in American without trial what violation of his right to a trial and where is the freedom. You are being blind by a bunch of politician in the US, that do nothing for you they just there to make their pocket bigger.
12.5% or 34.5m people in the US live below the poverty line where is their right to live better? where is their freedom to do so?
18.9% of children or 13.5m children in the US live in poverty where is their rights to a better life, where is the freedom?
Children make out 39% of the poor in America and 26% of the total population where is their freedom to have food? when America gave 82.5m usd to UNHCR for the Syrian refugees????????? where is your freedom guys? in 2010 there are 16.3% of American without health insurance where is their right to get access to medical treatment under their Human Rights. Why is the US not part of the ICC so that they can not be trialed for their atrocities????? Why was AIG the only firm bailed out in the credit crunch and it was not a bank. My fellow American... the answer is because AIG is the company that manages the pension fund for Congress. Congress get inside trading free, good health insurance and good pension fund you all in the US need to go and work for Congress if you want to survive. The world is made of many countries and America is not ruling the world...they think they are...it is all in the head. El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido

J. Assange <-> Woodward, Bernstein
W. Bush <-> R. Nixon (aka "I'm not a crook")
Other times, other technologies ...
